Heads or Tails Rumor
This week’s theme at Heads or Tails is Rumor.
How many times have we heard things about politicians, Hollywood stars or even the neighbor down the street and ran with the tale before checking to see if the tale was true? I have been guilty of this myself. Juicy gossip sends me into a tailspin as if I have been drugged!
I love the Norman Rockwell print entitled, Gossip. I have been in trouble a few times like the woman at the beginning and the end of this line of gossipers. I have made it my goal to not let it happen ever again. What did Thumper say? “If you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing at all.” Or something like that. Have a great Heads or Tails day everyone.
Good advice at the end there. It isn’t nice to the subject of gossip.

Yeh I agree -better say nothing at all

Norman Rockwell certainly had a wonderful way of making a point without saying a word.

Hi Karen,
Great post. I didn’t think of old Thumper. That was some good advise he gave. Love the picture. Very appropriate.
Thanks for stopping by.
You betcha, Karen!
That’ll preach!
It’s so disappointing when people hear something and the knee-jerk reaction is to think the worst.
I, too, have made it one of my life’s goals to keep my mouth shut until I know ALL the FACTS! I’m not yet perfect at it, but I’m far better at it than I used to be.
To know all is to forgive all.
Norman was a great painter in many ways and this one certainly said alot!

Imagine if Norman Rockwell was alive now with Twitter and its rumor mill? Yikes!

I don’t think “gossip” is necessarily negative. People like to pass on good news too
